RE: "...all else being equal..."

The original statement said that software companies produced more earnings per dollar of book value than AMAT and therefore deserved a higher P/B.

Earnings and book value do not have a well defined relationship, so I questioned the statement.

"...all else being equal..." still does not create a well defined relationship.
